You're Winning Work - But Are You Actually Making Money?

You calculate materials and labour, add a percentage, and hope what's left is profit. But vans, fuel, insurance, tools, admin time, software, and non-billable hours? They're silently eating into your margins. This course shows you the hidden costs you've been leaving out — and how to build them into every quote.

A Clear System That Actually Works

No complex accounting jargon. Just plain English, practical construction examples, and a proven step-by-step process. You'll learn to identify every direct cost, calculate true labour costs, recover overheads, and understand the difference between markup and profit margin — so you know exactly what price you need to hit your target profit.

Tools You'll Use Immediately

The course includes the Pricing for Profit Calculator, Job Profitability Worksheet, Discount Decision Tool, and checklists for direct costs, labour costs, and overheads. Plus, a complete worked example showing how a job that looks profitable can leave almost nothing once all costs are included. You'll walk away with actionable templates ready to use on your next quote.

About the Course

Pricing for Profit is designed for busy business owners like you, sole traders and company directors who are winning work but aren't sure if your quotes are covering the real cost of the job. Here's the reality: most tradespeople price based on materials, site labour, and a rough percentage. But the costs that don't disappear are the ones you forget to include  employer's National Insurance, holiday pay, quoting time, software subscriptions, tool maintenance, waste, and all those hours you're not billing to a client. Those costs still come out of your pocket. By the time your accounts show the problem, you've already quoted a dozen more jobs the same way. This course changes that. You'll learn a practical system to calculate what a job really costs, the minimum price you can accept without losing money, and the selling price needed to hit your profit target. Whether you're a builder, electrician, plumber, joiner, decorator, landscaper, or roofer -  this works for you. No accounting experience required. Just honest, practical construction examples and tools you can use before you send your next quote. Ready to know your expected profit before you accept the job? Let's go.

Grace Bartley

I'm Grace Bartley, a Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA) and founder of Taxpertise. I work with builders, contractors, property businesses, and construction company directors on accounting, tax, cash flow, and the commercial decisions that actually move the needle. Over years of working with construction businesses, I've seen the same pattern repeat: busy owners winning work, staying busy on site, and then discovering at year-end that they haven't made the profit they thought they would. By then, the same pricing mistake has been baked into months of completed jobs. I created Pricing for Profit to stop that happening. This course turns essential accounting and pricing principles into a practical system you can use before you quote, not after the damage is done. My goal is simple: help you know your expected profit before you accept the job. Because you deserve to build a business that's not just busy, but genuinely profitable.

What People Are Saying

Builders, electricians, plumbers, and contractors who've gone through Pricing for Profit have discovered exactly how much their jobs really cost and how much they should actually be charging. The result? Confidence in every quote and real profit at the end of each job.

“Before taking the course, I was adding a percentage to my costs and assuming that was my margin. The Pricing for Profit course showed me exactly where my calculations were going wrong. I now quote with far more confidence and understand what each job must earn.”
James Carter

Managing Director, Carter Build Solutions

“The course made pricing feel practical rather than complicated. The calculator and profitability worksheet helped me identify costs I had been overlooking, particularly unpaid time and overheads. I have already changed how I price new projects.”
Sean Mitchell

Founder, Mitchell Construction 

“The Discount Decision Tool has been especially valuable. Instead of agreeing to a discount and hoping the job still works, we can now see the impact on profit before approving it. The course gives you a clear system you can use immediately.”
Daniel Hughes

Operations Director, Hughes Property Services

“Before Pricing for Profit, I priced materials and labour, added a percentage and hoped there was enough left. The course showed me the overheads and non-billable time I had been missing, and I now feel far more confident sending every quotation.”
Ashley Thompson

Construction Company Director
